- He did not want to be in final match on Centre Court every day
- ‘It’s not possible’ to prepare for grass matches under roof
Andy Murray has said he asked Wimbledon organisers this year not to schedule him as the final match on Centre Court every day because of concerns over late finishes. Wimbledon, however, did not grant the request and late scheduling had a significant bearing on his exit from the Championships.
In his second-round match against Stefanos Tsitsipas, Murray led the third seed by two sets to one before the match was postponed as the curfew approached. They returned the following day, with Tsitsipas winning the final two sets to take the match.
